ToDo List:

Prepare RE Digest Samples for Middle Schoolers
Dilute M13 Forward Ready Made Primer from IDT company
Start looking at Overlap PCR cloning and start on Leishmania target

070212 - Priya, how did your pmCherry PCR turnout? If good - go onto pLIC PCR and then Overlap PCRs for your target.

062112 - Priya, try to figure out how to embed your images into the page instead of just having it link to the file. Also, add a REALLY good caption. - Thanks, DR. B

Lane 2: 1kb ladder
Lane 4: Uncut DNA
Lane 5: EcoRI

Lane 7: EcoRI and PvuII
This gel redo did not turn out as expected either. Some of the DNA got stuck in two of the wells, and there may be some contamination in lane 6.

06.14.12, 06.15.12: RE Digest
pa6574_Priya Arun_06.15.2012_RE Digest1.png
The bands did not appear as expected; the 4th and 5th lanes are probably contaminated, and the 6th lane does not have the spacing I expected. My virtual (expected) gel is below:
